Maybe that is presented differently in the book... My point is that he is really concentrated on strength. One kind of strength. Sometimes I like that, but... sometimes I need to run to catch a bus. If you want to squat max - great training. If squat is only an element, and you want to ski - I would look for something else. So question is if book presents that in more balanced form? | |

He's much smarter about training than you, me, and pretty much everyone else. Get to intermediate strength standards first (via his techniques and schedule), then re-evaluate. That's a year and a half right there. | |

For the moment - my load is divided into groups - static vs dynamic exercises - stability - one leg / core exercises - cardio - stretching / mobility. Not all at a time. Also there are sub-groups - you can do full, long stretching which is great for me, but not around strength training... Then I do fast mobilization - as a part of warm-up | |
| Dec 20, 2017 at 14:35 | comment | added | Andy | Thank you Michal. I am currently reading "Starting Strength" and realize that coumpound exercises like dead lift and squat train many muscles at once. However I think it might be an idea to do unstable versions of these exercises once in a while e.g. every 3 rd time. Not sure how to make dead lift and squat unstable but for bench one can use dumbbells instead of bar. | |
